Major Program Changes

Science – Funds Planetary Science at a higher level than the FY 2014 PB, enabling a Discovery AO, steady

funding for R&A, support for most operating missions, and pre-formulation studies for a potential Europa mission

Funds pre-formulation studies for a potential WFIRST/AFTA mission Funds the GLOBE program, and an additional $15 million for other STEM education activities Greatly reduces funding for the SOFIA project as it plans to be put into storage Proposes the OCO-3 for funding through the OGSI

Aeronautics – Aligns Aeronautics research to focus on newly defined strategic thrust areas

Space Technology – Accelerates development of a Solar Electric Propulsion demonstration effort; reduces funding for new awards for many competitive programs

Exploration - Transfers asteroid capture system content from AES in Exploration to ISS In-Space Robotic Servicing in Space Operations

Space Operations – International Space Station (ISS) extended to at least 2024.

Education – Consolidates many STEM efforts within the Agency to support the Administration’s STEM reorganization

CECR – Transfers programmatic CoF, revises phasing for institutional CoF.

16

Considerations

Out-year Funding Assumptions. In this time of national fiscal austerity, NASA has accepted the challenge to manage to a modest inflation adjusted out-year top-line budget. Funding lines beyond FY 2015 should be considered notional.

Campaign to Promote Efficient and Effective Spending. This budget continues NASA’s efforts to improve operational efficiency and maintains reduced spending for service contracting, travel, supplies and materials, printing and reproduction, and IT services.

Aligning the NASA Workforce. Aligns human capital with the priority requirements of the Agency Minor reduction in FTE consistent with budget limitations

Presentation in full-cost, where all project costs are allocated to the project, including labor funding for the Agency’s civil service workforce.

17

Opportunity, Growth, and Security Initiative

• While the President’s Budget adheres to the BBA’s discretionary funding levels for 2015, it is not sufficient to expand opportunity to all Americans or to drive the growth our economy needs.

• The BBA replaced half the sequestration cut for 2014 but just one-fifth of the scheduled cut in the discretionary funding level for 2015. As a result, taking into account unavoidable growth in other Federal programs and other factors, the BBA non-defense discretionary funding levels for 2015 are below the levels Congress provided in the bipartisan Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014.

• For that reason, the Federal Budget also includes a separate, fully paid for $56 billion Opportunity, Growth, and Security Initiative.

• NASA’s share of that Initiative is $885M and is designed to show how additional discretionary investments in 2015 can further enable the NASA mission while spurring economic progress, promoting opportunity, and strengthening national security.

Promoting the JSC Sessions

NASA Johnson Space Center Small Business Joint Counseling

FAQ’s

1. What is Joint Counseling? Joint Counseling is a matchmaking opportunity where a Small Business (SB) can market itself to representatives from NASA, its Prime Contractors, and the SBA – known collectively as the NASA Prime Contractor Small Business Liaison Officer (SBLO) Roundtable.

2. How long is a Joint Counseling session? A session lasts 20 minutes. The SB is expected to present its capabilities for the first 10-15 minutes. The remaining time is used to facilitate Q&A between the SB and the Roundtable.

3. When and where is Joint Counseling? Joint Counseling sessions are typically held the 1st Tuesday of the month at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

4. How do I sign up? Small businesses interested in participating should contact the JSC Industry Assistance office at [email protected] to schedule an appointment.

5. Can I bring someone else with me? Yes. However, due to the limited time we will have together, we ask that you bring no more than 2 others with you. It is strongly recommended that the owner of the business attend the session.

6. Who is my audience? JSC SB Specialists, the SBA’s regional representative, and SBLOs from Prime Contractors such as ATK, Boeing, Jacobs, Lockheed Martin, Orbital Sciences, Raytheon, SGT, SpaceX, United Technologies, Wyle and others.

7. Can I show a computer presentation or video? No. Keep in mind that the intent of the Joint Counseling session is to facilitate an interactive dialogue to learn more about your company and how we might work together in the future.

8. Can I bring hand outs and marketing material? Bring your company brochure and any information you want us to have that you feel best showcases your company’s capabilities and products. Some things to consider:

a. If you bring print outs of your presentation, please do not read it to us verbatim. We can read it later. Use your short time with us to highlight the most important messages and elaborate on them with personal comments.

b. Do not bring any gifts of value; we are not able to accept them. c. Save money and trees – limit your hand out material and bring only what you feel

is most beneficial during the face to face, or what can’t be sent to us electronically. We will ask you to email us your presentation and capabilities packet afterward. (This allows us to easily advocate your company to others!)

9. How long will it take to get a contract? There really is no way to predict this. Contracts are created from requirements, requirements are created from a need. If a requirement for your capability or product arises, you may receive a request for quote. As a general rule, we tell companies that it can take 18-24 months to secure their first contract with a government agency or Prime Contractor. Not surprisingly, the best practices to use to achieve this are persistence, professionalism and patience.

Presented at

NASA Industry Forum (NIF) by

Min Kim, Genex Systems and

Doug Cook, Jacobs Technology, Inc.

Introduction on

History

• Established in January 1989 • Informal forum for communication and

networking to build and enhance partnership bond between LaRC leadership and local contractors

• Composed of on- and near-site LaRC contractors and LaRC leadership representatives.

3/19/2014 NASA Langley Contractor Steering Council

(LCSC) 2

Structure

• Two Co-Chairs – LaRC Co-Chair, appointed by LaRC leadership – Contractor Co-Chair, elected by members

• Deputy Co-Chair (contractor), optional • LaRC Small Business Office - supports LaRC Co-

Chair • Members are composed of active LaRC

contractors and LaRC leadership representative – The LCSC currently has 47 companies

3/19/2014 NASA Langley Contractor Steering Council (LCSC) 3

Operational Functions

• Two Co-Chairs meet on a monthly basis to coordinate monthly meeting agenda

• Two Co-Chairs share responsibilities of inviting and coordinating speakers

• The LCSC meeting is once a month, i.e., on the 3rd Thursday – The LCSC if off July and August


Effectiveness • Effective Information Exchange and Education

– LaRC employees share their activities with contractors, and also educate contractors on critical issues and programs

• What is happening at NASA • What is happening at Langley Research Center • What is happening with their projects/programs

– Contractors present their companies capabilities and activities – Open to outside the LaRC, e.g., surrounding cities, other

department and agencies, and key local programs/projects • Social and Networking Opportunity

– Contractors network with LaRC leadership – Contractors network with other contractors – Contractors network with surrounding city officials


Interface with LaRC Personnel

• Speakers cover a wide-range of LaRC personnel – The LaRC Center Director is invited once a year – Other senior level personnel are invited to inform the

local contractors of the center activities – Technical and other personnel (e.g., Branch Heads,

Team Leads, or workers) are invited to inform their activities and projects

• Contractors actively interface with the speakers during and after presentation for networking


What works?

• Effective communication – LaRC leadership and contractors exchange key

information – Internal and external issues are being

communicated • Vibrant networking environment

– Local contractors actively participate in networking opportunities with the LaRC leadership, surrounding city officials, and other contractors


Best Practices

• Open and informal professional environment for information exchange and networking

• Open to the NASA LaRC community as well as outside communities, such as – surrounding cities – other departments (e.g., Army, Air Force, and FAA) – local programs as well as organizations (e.g., VA

Air & Space Center, VA Space Grant Consortium, VA Aerospace Business Associates)


Issues and Concerns

• Contractors do not ask tough questions on critical issues – Not at a fault of LaRC leadership – Mostly for the political reasons, contractors are

hesitant to face the speakers with difficult questions

An open, communicative NASA SBS creates a “win-win” for NASA and primes

Prime Contractor Council members/companies are “Competi-mates” All members contribute to the knowledge of others SBLOs (SB POCs) reside in the GMs office, BD, or Procurement Mentoring an SB is challenging HBCU/MI’s are focused on academia and most need help in

subcontracting
